The man who killed former Ohio State defensive end Will Smith was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Thursday.
Hayes was originally convicted of manslaughter in December 2016, but the conviction was voided when the Supreme Court outlawed nonunanimous verdicts. He was released on bond in March 2021 after serving more than four years of a 25-year sentence. Smith was killed on April 9, 2016, when he was shot eight times during a confrontation with Hayes after a traffic incident in which Hayes rear-ended Smith. Hayes’ defense argued that he shot Smith in self-defense. Per the, evidence showed Smith was intoxicated at the time of the confrontation, but there was no evidence to back up Hayes’ claim that Smith wielded or fired a weapon.
